It should be noted that large percentage changes in small numbers may not necessarily be statistically significant. Collisions ,066 road traffic collisions involving personal injury were reported to the Metropolitan and City of London Police during This is a 4% reduction in collisions compared with Casualties Table 1 below and table 2 overleaf show that the 23,066 collisions resulted in 27,199 casualties. Of these, 132 people were fatally injured, 2,192 were seriously injured, and 24,875 were slightly injured. Fatalities fell by one percent (134 to 132), to the second lowest level since recent records began. KSI casualties fell by 23% in 2013 (3,018 to 2,324) compared to 2012, to the lowest number since records began. Within this, the number of serious injuries fell by 24% (2,884 to 2,192), also to the lowest level on record. Slight injuries fell by 3% (25,762 to 24,875) and overall casualties in 2013 fell by 5%, compared with 2012, to the lowest level on record.

It shows considerable variation in the proportion of male to female casualties for different modes of travel which reflects the different travel choices made by men and women. Males accounted for 93% of powered twowheeler casualties; with on average almost 87% of motorcycle journeys in 2012/13 being made by men. Males also accounted for 77% of pedal cyclist casualties, with on average 72% of cycle journeys being made by men in 2012/13.

9 Collisions in London in 2013 Month of collisions Figure 3 (overleaf) shows the month in which collisions occurred and the changes between 2013 and It shows that there were increases in five of the months (June to July and October to December) and decreases in seven (January to May and August to September). Weather can have an impact on collision figures. In particular the first three months of 2013 were exceptionally cold (March 2013 was the second coldest on record) and discouraging to more journeys being made, particularly by vulnerable road users. Over this period (January to March 2013) collisions fell by 18% when compared to the same period in In contrast the last three months of 2013 were considerably milder and wetter than average, and the number of collisions on London s roads increased by 6% when compared to the same period in Lighting conditions The number of collisions that occurred during dark conditions increased from 28% of all collisions in 2012 to 30% in Road surface conditions When considering the road surface conditions at the time of collisions, several notable changes were evident in 2013 compared with Although the numbers were relatively small, collisions on roads covered with snow, frost or ice fell slightly from 271 in 2012 to 250 in December 2012 was exceptionally cold across the UK and this cold period extended into late spring Collisions on dry road surfaces fell by 1%, while those on a wet surface fell by 15%. Figure 4 (overleaf) shows the considerable monthly variation in wet road collisions in 2013 compared with April 2012 was the wettest April on record, with collisions on wet road surfaces in April falling from 647 in 2012 to 166 in There were also substantial reductions in collisions on wet road surfaces during July 2013, compared with the wet summer of Overall, during 2013, 81% of collisions occurred on dry road surfaces, 18% on wet roads, and 1% on roads covered with snow, frost or ice.
